So I had originally tried that as well. Two ways...

1. Leaving the format string exactly as is "000\-00000\-000"

This resulted in 12312345123\-\-.

2. I tried unescaping the format string which turned it into "000-00000-000"

This resulted in 12312345123--.

Terribly, neither was what I wanted nor what I was getting back from the
DataFormatter.

:(
